DOOR-HAN G ER.

To all whom it n tzty concern.- 7

Be it known that I, GEORGE G. MEYER, a citizen of theUnited States, anda resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State ofWisconsin, have invented certain new-and useful Improvements inDoor-Hangers and-I'do hereby declare that the following I Theimprovements consist-in certain -peculiarities of construction. andcombination of parts hereinafter particularly set forth with referenceto the accompanying drawings and subsequently claimed,- the nain objectof theinvention'being to provide for the utilization of sliding doors toclose openings in narrow partitions that of themselves are made to'serveas the pockets for the doors.

Figure 1 of the drawings represents a partly sectional elevation'of aportion ofa sliding door and my improved means for suspending the same,and Fig. 2 a transverse sectional View indicated by lines 2 2 in thefirst figure. Y

Referring by letter to the drawings, A indi cates a stationarysuspension-bar supported within a partition of'a building; B, an adjusting-bar held in connection with the bar aforesaid by means ofscrew-bolts C and nuts D, these nuts being preferably seated in wash ersE, that are countersunk in the upper porbar, between which and theadjusting-bar a fulcrum-block F'for the latter bar is shown held inplace by one of said bolts. Secured on the upper side of theadjusting-bar, adjacent to the end of same farthest from the fulcrum-block, are fiat springs. G, that impinge against the under side of thesuspension-bar; but a spring of some other form maybe substituted iffound necessary or desirable.

Made fast to opposite sides of the adjusting-bar by screws. or othersuitable means are portions of which serve as parallel tracksfor rollersI, that are preferably provided with tires of rubber or'other elasticmaterial. The rollers arefast in pairs on spindles J, that have theirbearings'in brackets K, attachable to a door L by screws or othersuitable means, said brackets being preferably made to have angle fit onthe door. w

same inadjusted position. By turning the screw-bolts from below theangle ofv the adjusting-bar is readilyi'egulated on its 111- crum-blockF to compensate for settle or other causes. having atendency to preventthe door from coming flush with the jam'bs of the openfor which itconstitutes lug in the partition a closure.

Having thus described I claim as new, and desire Patent, is-- 1. Thecombination of astationary suspension-bar, an adjusting-bar held inconnection with the suspension-bar by screw bolts and nuts, a springunder tension between said bars adjacent to ends of same, angle-irons inconnection with adjustingbar having depending lower portionsconstituting parallel tracks, brackets attachable to a door, spindlescarried by the brackets, and rollers on the spindles adapted to bear onthe tracks.

to secure by Letters The combination of a stationary suspen- I sion-bar,an adj usting-bar held in'connection with the suspension-bar by screwbolts and. nuts, a fulcrum-block intermediate of said bars adjacent toends of same, angle-irons in connection with the adj usting-barhavingdepending horizontal portions constituting pan allel tracks, bracketsattachable to a door, spindles carried by on the spindles adapted tobear on the tracks.

3. The combination of a stationary suspem sion-bar, an adj ustin -barheld in connection with the suspension-bar by screw bolts and nuts, afulcrum-block intermediate of the bars adjacent to ends of same, aspringunder tension between said bars adjacent to the ends of samefarthest-from the fulcrum-block, angle-irons in connection withadjusting-bar my invention, what the brackets, and rollers havingdepending lower portions constitutbrackets attachable to a ing paralleltracks,

by the brackets, and

door, spindles carried rollers on the spindles adapted to bearon thetracks.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand,-atMilwaukee, in

the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, in the presence of twowitnesses.
